A good summary of some of the many environmental projects being undertaken by the Federal government.World Environment Day is a reminder of the steps we can all take to protect our environment and native species.

The Scott Morrison (ScoMo) Government is working with people who want to help their local environment, and making a real difference with practical policies.

Now there's an MP that should be investigated, fully.

Gladys Liu is one politician that I would not align strongly with either the environment, or Australian values.

Another one of the new world order, subjugation at any cost, even lives.

👍

CCP spy. Wake up ScoMo

I thought Gladys was the first Member of the Chinese Communist Party to be elected in Australia. Funny, all those groups she was listed as belonging too that she, "didn't know I was a member of them".

No wonder Victoria is broke.

How have we let so many Chinese infiltrate our government

Today's independent report shows that regular CityLink motorists will be slugged thousands of dollars each in extra tolls to pay for the West Gate Tunnel.

Premier Andrews rushed into the West Gate Tunnel project because he was desperate to sign up for something else after scrapping East West Link. Transurban have taken him to the cleaners, and CityLink motorists are paying the price. To read the full report, see bit.ly/2Y8bAfY. ... See MoreSee Less

I've been saying this for ages no one listened

What do you expect from a socialist government that is more 5han willing to sell our souls.

VICTORIANS VOTED FOR THIS DONKEY FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS WITH A MAJORITY THEY WHERE WARNED BEFORE THE ELECTION BUT NO ONE LISTENED WHAT DOES IT SAY , ONLY 3 MONTHS IN HE HAS DOUBLED LAND TAX , LOCKED US INTO THIS CRAP WITH TRANSURBAN, PUT UP WATER ,GANG VOILENCE, LAW AND ORDER STILL OUT OF CONTROL RED SHIRTS NOTHING TO ANSWER TOO THAT IS ONLY THE BEGINING

Hmmm. Anyone remember the Kennet government shutting down a number of suburban streets so that motorists were virtually forced to use city link? They are all the same.

Comrade Dan yet again proving that he has no regard for Victorians, just his beloved UN agenda

Well who else is going to pay "YOU" Infrastructure projects the public always pay no matter who in charge BLAH BLAH BLAH

The sheeple who voted for labor now will have to pay for their lack of judgement

When will he govern for us and not for himself?

Too many incentives for both sides of politics to make terrible decisions.. they all end up on boards with great packages after there political careers end

What's new. Slug us for their election promises

They voted this incompetent fool I and now we have to pay the cost I wouldn't let him manage my household budget

there are no gangs in Victoria ...ONLY the Daniel Andrews gang, they rob us blind

Well, I didn’t vote him in. Rome is burning while Nero(Andrews) is playing the fiddle.

Seems like we in the country have more sense than city people ,they are the ones that voted him back in .maybe they like people that do shonky deals and get away with things others would be in court for .

Stop immigration our roads can't cope, SIMPLE

This tunnel is desperately needed.

What has Jeff Kennets' deal with Transurban cost us?

Question, how many former senior Labor politicians are currently employed by, or lobbying for, Transurban?

I wonder how much money was paid into the Labor Party coffers?

Yes...U have to ask who these dodgy pollies really work for...??????....WHERE'S TELMO GONE...??????

Mr Dodgy hasn't changed his spots

That’s ok Victorians like being poor, we even vote for it.

And thank the Dickheads that voted him in!!

This country is all about money 💰

Libs shut next detention centre

www.theaustralian.com.au

The Coalition will cite the closure of 19 Australian immigration detention centres — and the release of almost 2000 children from immigration detention since it came to power in 2013 — as it prepares to fight Labor on boats policy.

yeh and now you start beatin the anti union drum, pack of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P. Australia

Anyrhing for votes

labor money spending scum using our taxes for letting scum in

YES....DO NOT FORGET WHAT A MESS LABOR OF AUSTRALIAS IMMIGRATION SYSTEM....AND THE LIBERALS ARE FIXING UP THE MESS AND PROTECTING AUSTRALIA. LABORS MESS HAS AND IS COSTING ALL TAX PAYERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS....JUST RESEARCH THE FACTS

Let the homeless use it

They should shut them All Down. No More.!

Big mistake club sing these centres, when labour wins the next election the boats will start coming

All except the ones that count, apparently.

The AUD sank to historic low below 70c, tqvm Liberals.

Open these centers for the homeless people in our country

And liberals are all dickheads

Well done labor

Trying to find a suitable place, close to south pole.

And the Liberals are trying to pull any trick out of their hats

Lynn Taylor don’t be silly that costs lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

They have discovered more revenue by selling it and let the migrants buy their own block

Never read so much CRAP from liberal WANKERS, some do not make any sense at all?

They are still coming in

The LNP havent stopped the boats they have just stopped reporting it. Operational matters

The LNP need to state clearly their policy on immigration, work visas, refugees. Unless you are stark staring mad it is clearly evident that Australia has passed it's population capacity already and further growth will be detrimental! The selling off of our land and utilities to foreign ownership is also clearly to the DISADVANTAGE of Australia going forward. So what are their policies on that????

Sll our politicians are only out to feather their own nests 🤮

Stop scaring people with the boat people story. Stop exaggerating that they are the problem of Australia. The problem are the lazy Aussie born people that feed off the government and know how to use the system to live the easy life instead of working! The Boat people as you call them are willing to work hard and contribute to our country if given the opportunity! Fucking Racist Libs have no Policies and always try to put fear to Aussie public using the Refugee argument! More people, more ideas and a stronger economy! Wankers!

It is hilarious how the LNP clings desparately to the "stop the boats" theme. Its the only pot they have to piss in. Everything else is falling down around them and they think they can blindside the electorate with that old chestnut.
